better appearance. The cottages and
booths were fully decorated, and with
the bright flowers aud fresh green
foliage they presented very attractive
picture. The flower garden in front Of
the "Home was very attractive and
contained numerous bright and many
rare flowers growing seemingly in the
earth. On the other side the Soda
Fountain on the verandah, in charge of
Mrs Brainard Smith, was literally pat
ronized throughout the evening The
Arbor, in charge of Mrs. A. l.. Bangs,
was very tastefutly decorated, and
from this place coffee, tea, etc
